September is always the real, we're totally back-to-school month. Briggs had his real first day with Ms. Coleman, and is off to a great start in Kindergarten. And Crew is off to preschool 3's and loving it! He has Ms. Mande and Ms. Zito (Mary Catherine!) who could not be sweeter. The girls are getting settled into their new classes. Middle school is definitely a transition for Lil and she's a bit homesick for Dilworth, but loving her musical theater class.
Lil also auditioned for and made the middle school musical, Seussical, which is a big deal! And, Nutcracker auditions AND rehearsals have started... Lil is mice, tea, and party girl. So happy for her... Party girl is what she wanted most of all! Charley started gymnastics at the Y and is, no surprise, a natural.. Her coach already told me she's made for this and wants to bump her up on the more advanced track soon.
They're off and running. 😉

| Daddy school pick-up. Haha. |
 |
| When I told Lily she got party girl! Made her a little flip book that said "Congrats, you made the Nutcracker!" Then she turned the page and it said "You got mice!" Flip. "And tea!" And she was like yay... but I could tell a little disappointed. Then "and....", then "Party girl!" And then she screamed. |
